Information and Advice Pages for Job
Seekers

The key
to finding a good job is getting the right information
about recruiters and available jobs. You have to
understand the market to be successful. That is not an
easy task, since many of the job seekers may not have
been looking for a job in decades.

Custom Search

To
have a long term future in a job, you have to search for
a job that fits your education personality and your
interests. Some people take a job because it is
offered, not because it is right for them. Others accept
job offers, because the attention of the human resource
manager or the employer flatters them.

The are
not particularly interested in the company or the job.
Being flattered by the attention given to them, they
forget to look at the job and the company, and to think
about whether the job is really the kind of long-term
future they want to createfor themselves.

Pleased
to have found a job, or impressed at being recruited,
they will justify a poor choice and accept work that does
not fit their abilities or satisfy them. Gradually, they
lose interest, their working morale drops and their
performance suffers. It is like a downward spiral.
Ultimately they get fired, laid off, or they quit, and
the cycle starts again.

Employees
and Businesses today cannot afford to lose time and money
from bad hiring decisions or using the wrong Employment
Agencies. Your key employees are important to your
business and good information and advice will goive you
the expertise and experience to help you locate those
jobs, or employees, that truly will make a difference to
you.

We are
often told by employers that "People are our
Greatest Assets"

I do not know how many times I have been
told by employers, hiring managers and CEO's that "people
are our greatest assets". And then I look at
the company closer, see that they pay wages a person can
hardly live on, have managers and supervisors who behave,
as if they were still living in the 19th Century and
benefit packages (vacation, insurance etc.) that lets one
ask where the "benefits" are.

The gap between what many
employers say and how they deal with employees is
widening. It is easy to call employees
"associates" rather than the 20th Century
"workers", but welding them into a cohesive
social whole, that becomes a productive unit, adding real
value-added to the economy, is
something quite different.

However,"People become
your greatest Asset",
when you are looking for a job. Most of the time,
especially in these difficult economic environment, it
is often less important what you know, then who you know.
The majority of jobs which become available are never
open to the public at large. They are certainly not
advertised. So the only way you will know about it, is
through other people. Networking and making connections
become important assets in your job search portfolio. You
need to get to the job with a personal connection! Even
better, you should know long before the job
opening becomes public!

Although,
many jobs today are filled via the internet and the view
persists that because of the internet, the hiring process
has become more efficient. Far from it. The only thing
the internet did was to decrease your ability to
establish personal contacts with hiring managers.
Consequently, move your job searches from the internet
back to the personal level: Use your connection
and who you know! That is, where "People
become your greatest Asset"
